“Satellites" is a compelling journey through unrecognized countries and isolated regions in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus and Siberia. In this lyrical but unsentimental collection of photographs, Jonas Bendiksen takes us into the little-known worlds of Transdniester, Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, the Ferghana Valley, the Jewish Autonomous Region, and the spaceship crash zones near the Kazakh Steppe, and in the process reveals that the narrative of the Soviet collapse continues to evolve.

About the photographer

Norwegian Jonas Bendiksen began his career when he, twenty years old, arrived by boat in the Far East Russian port of Vladivostok. He spent the next years based in Russia, working on stories around the outer fringes of the former USSR, resulting in the recently published book "Satellites". Now based in New York, he travels extensively, often focusing on isolated enclaves and communities.
